[Bug 1010466] [NEW] dropdown boxes on sites stop working

[Jaco Uys]

Public bug reported:

I have tried on a couple of different websites and none of the dropdown boxes want to open. It is as if there is a refresh process or something running the stops the dropdown from opening. I can click on the drop box and scroll down with the down button, but I cant use a mouse click to open the dropbox. By drop box I mean 
<select name='dropboxname'>
<option value=''>Option 1</option>
<option value=''>Option 2</option>
<option value=''>Option 3</option>
</select>
